What's Wrong with a Great Hero Being Jobless

Episode 56: Wishing Down

I give Gotheld a shout. Gotheld only responded, oh. Looks like it's loaded already. Except for this man, I can't instantly put a bullet in it. The whole Heinemarie thing turned my head. I said I'd protect you. Either way, there's only one way out of here. Me and Gotheld lined up for a no-queen. Heinemarie came in the meantime. You can't fight for blood, can you? Both sides of us had Milliu and Momohina. Milieu screams, indignantly. Let Mithril's sword dance in her dancing appearance. Sword Dancer. Milliu is a sword dancer. Using that move, he slashes the Knolls, slashes them and slashes them. Momohina also kicks Knoll with a cane and a kick. Norqueen is turning his back on us. Run away. Run away. Don't let them get away with it. I'll shoot. Hit it. Back of the head. He fluttered. I can put a bullet in it while I run. Gotheld and Heinemarie also shot. Gotheld's bullet shredded Norqueen's left shoulder, but Heinemarie took it off. Nor Queen turned back this way. Have you decided to be ready? No. Here we go again. "Fire." The Knolls get more frenzied. It's not just coming running. It jumps from all over. My vision was buried in the knoll. Of course it's an illusion. It just looks that way. It's just that we and Norqueen are only six or seven meters apart, and all the Norqueens are trying to do is build a wall there. It's almost ready to go. It was then.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...!

The Redbeards. Six of the Redbeards squad pushed from further outside Milliu and Momohina. I don't have a gun anymore. It's a war axe. I poked. I collided with Gushaaaaaaaaaan. Cracks enter Knoll's walls. I can crack. I can rip. It's just a slight rip. Six of the Redbeards killed many, perhaps more than ten, Knolls with their penetration, but instead they were also bitten by Knolls, with their eyes clawed, and stabbed everywhere with obsolete weapons. Perhaps some died instantly. Only then could every human enter or fail to enter, and that degree of rift be opened on the fleshwalls of the Knolls. The Dwarves of the Red Gazette cut me open, risking my life, on a narrow, too narrow path.

I slipped my body through the rift. The Knolls grabbed me. He put his hand on my mouth and pulled off the edge of his lips, twisted his finger in my left eye and burst his eyeball. My right ear almost broke. I got stabbed in several places with something like a knife. The chest wound made my breath extremely painful as if it was reaching my lungs, and my intestines spilled out of the wound around the upper right corner of my umbilicus. He grabbed my left arm and when I was forced to pull it out, my elbow was gone. He broke a bone.

Despite all the injuries, I pierced Knoll's meat wall.

Norqueen is running or not, he's looking at us in an obscure position.

It's only about two meters away.

"Yo."

I greeted him lightly and then held the gun as long as possible with my right arm and armpit.

Get close, and stick a muzzle in Nor Queen's mouth.

I pulled the trigger.

Nor Queen is

"Hiccup."

I glanced in a voice like that.

I got caught in the back of my hair before he fell on his back.

I tried to give it up, but I can't help my legs or my belly.

I'm going on an excursion until I get home.

... excursions.

I know what that means. It's about us all going somewhere. Events. School's. Schools? As old as they get, they teach to study. I understand the concept. Somehow, I feel like I've been there before. School. Hike.

Well, okay.

No, how's it going?

I punched Knoll grabbing my hair with a gun. Nor was frightened and dragged me down.

"Shhh..."

"Shhhhhhh..."

The Knolls are crying out for their condolences in the distance.

But this whole knoll hasn't been able to recognize the death of a very excited knoll queen yet, slapping me like a good one.

"Dear Xaragi!

"Hilarious!

"Xaragi!"

"Xaragi......!

There was a gunshot.

So one of the Knolls trying to kill me was shot dead, slashed down, and poked.

I stood still. I don't close my eyes. I even watched. The Knolls are trying to kill me. They're trying to save me. I was staring quietly.

"Kisaragi... Huh!

Momohina knelt by me, tried to touch my face, and I stopped.

"Oh, no. Umi saragi! No, no, no, no! Whispering......!

What the hell?

You can talk, but your mouth is ripped. Sounds painful.

It hurts everywhere - is it the same thing?

"You're alive...!?"

And when Gotheld shot the gun, he asked.

Oh.

I see.

It just seems like I'm screwed, so you're saying Momohina's mistaken.

"... or..."

That's all I said, Momohina let me close my eyes,

"Huh? Kisaragi, Daiji-kun?

"... quite so"

"Dad!"

Back-to-back with Gotheld, Heinemarie is putting a bullet in the gun.

"Defend the xaragi...... ugh!

"Right. He's my future son."

"Heh, what... heh!

"Ha-ha-ha."

Isn't this the first time you've heard Gotheld laugh?

"Dear Axbeld......! Knoll Queen is done! Come here......!

Looks like Milliu is trying to get the Axbelds.

"Mr. Ichika! Hurry up! Master Kisaragi is injured...!

"Oops! So......!

Like, the strawberries are screaming.

So, what is it?

I wonder what it is.

... Me, what are you doing here?

I don't know what you're doing with one eyeball, a blood bubble, a gut sticking out.

Here... where?

Black gold streak. Knoll's territory. I don't think so. That's not the point.

Why am I here? How did you get here?

… schools. School? Hike. Someone. A lot of them. Like I know, like I don't. We were together. With you.

I'm not here, I've been somewhere far away.

I don't know where that is.

But I was there.

Yet I was here when I realized.

Grimgal.

Border.

There's humans, there's elves, there's dwarves, there's knolls, there's orcs.

Where am I?

Is this my place?

... distracting.

Well, I thought I was going to be able to go home. If I stay distracted and get far everywhere, I'll get somewhere, not here. That's where I was originally, and I'm going home there.

If I do, will I think of it?

Tell me about where I was.

And will I forget?

About this Grimgal.

About those we met in Grimgal.

"Xaragi...... Huh!

A strawberry pushes Momohina over and glances at my face.

Don't cry about this, fool.

"... it's too late. Quickly heal."

"I'll heal you!

"But what?"

"Cure! The rest... then I will!
